The Lift Up to Komuroyama Ridge Walk 『MISORA』
A sightseeing chairlift that takes you up Mt. Komuro in Ito, Shizuoka, in about five minutes. The boarding station doubles as a souvenir shop, and that's where you buy tickets. There are no seatbelts, but you ride close to the ground, so it's less scary than it sounds. Notes on parking and riding rules from a parent's point of view.
